where she married William W. Winchester, son of the entrepreneur who founded
the Winchester rifle company, which became the largest gun company in the
world. At its peak, many members of the
Winchester family started dying: Sarahs sister-in-law, her only child, her
father-in-law, and finally, her husband. Because of the succession, Sarah found
herself heir to the Winchester fortune.
And because her lifespan exactly coincided with the popularity of
Spiritualism, Sarah went to a medium in Boston who told her that evil spirits,
killed by Winchester rifles, were murdering her family in revenge.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Given advice to thwart them, she moved to
San Jose, California becoming an early feminist and creating a new life for
herself: one of eccentricity, romance, and intrigue, while overcoming powerful
forces against her. Because of her
beliefs, she truly felt that evil spirits surrounded her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Her fame drew a Victorian version of
paparazzi, one of which nearly killed her. She battled behind the scenes with
Theodore Roosevelt and local hypocrites; and was buried alive in the 1906 San
Andreas Earthquake. Even with all of this, she remained kind-hearted and sane.
Her home remains today as one of the largest Victorian mansions ever built.
Although Roger Rule wrote his first book twenty years ago, Sarah
is his first novel.
Rule is a graduate of the University of Missouri and a
published author of authoritative books regarded as the reference source in
their respective fields. A recognized Winchester
expert, as well as a builder himself, he became interested in Sarah when first
touring the Winchester Mystery House in the seventies. About Sarah, he says,
“Researching and telling her story nearly became an obsession.”
After serving a short stint as an infantry airborne officer
in the U.S. Army, Rule became a real estate developer in California for
twenty-two years, where he reared his family and married his second wife,
Eileen. Mr. Rule is past president of seven companies and is acknowledged in Who’s
Who in California, Personalities of America, Who’s Who in Finance and Industry
in America, and International Businessmen’s Who’s Who.
In 1995, he moved to Hawaii where one of his
companies now owns a large retirement facility in Kailua-Kona ... “Regency at
Hualalai.” Recently, he resumed his writing interests, writing screenplays,
business books, professional business plans for world-renown companies; and
most recently, this first novel.
